Business dress in Paris and Madrid

[JonK]

I'm heading to these cities in the near future on business trips and was curious what defines business dress in these cities?

Among other things, is other things, is either like London where black shoes are the rule?

Many thanks.

Everywhere you look.

Similar to New York except that you can get away with the occasional teal gabardine suit in Paris.

Many thanks for the input.

I think I will leave the teal suit home this time around

, but this helps a lot in terms of knowing what to pack.

There is no need to dimple your tie in Paris.

In Madrid you can see a lot of guys wearing loafers with their suits. I have been here since the early 90s, and it still looks wrong to me.
Also, in business environments: nobody (or almost nobody) feels that it is tacky to have visible monograms on the shirts (chest or cuff) and at least one working jacket sleeve button ubuttoned. Maybe one of the main differences that I notice compared to, for example, Germany and the U.S.
